League of Legends’ very first patch of season 13 is right around the corner, and Riot Games are looking to introduce a fair number of balance updates to the MOBA as soon as the pre-season ends.
Patch 13.1 will add nerfs and buffs to multiple champions. When talking about some of the changes that they are looking to introduce in patch 13.1, the League of Legends developers stated,
“For champions we're still mostly looking at soloq outliers as we head toward season start (10th). We're also buffing up a number of underpowered items and adjusting Jak'Sho to make it less valuable on fighters.”
Some of the major highlights of the upcoming update will be the mid-scope updates that will make their way to Jax. Additionally, buffs will be hitting Shaco, while champions like Aatrox, Dr. Mundo, and K’Sante will have their names on the nerf list. Below are all the champions who will receive changes in the upcoming update.
